The museum, centrally located on Route 66, offers rotating exhibits to ensure a new and exciting experience each time you stop in. As the only Pontiac-Oakland museum in the world, we display hundreds of pieces of memorabilia alongside the selection of cars. For car enthusiasts, we offer a behind the scenes tour led by museum staff (by appointment only). Be sure to visit our gift shop that offers books, clothing, and other unique items focused on Pontiac and Route 66. The Pontiac Oakland Automobile Museum was one of TripAdvisor's 2014 Certificate of Excellence winners. Pontiac, Illinois offers other exciting museums and attractions, so please put Pontiac on your list of places to visit!

Do these guys realize Pontiacs were named after the city where the company was established? Pontiac, MICHIGAN? A bit misleading. That being said.....the museum is not bad. A good collection of cars....many a bit newer than my taste....but something of interest for any car person.

As an owner of three Pontiac, this is a place for a Pontiac owner. They have a nice library of Pontiac memorabilia and a nice display of many Pontiac. Pontiac, Illinois is on the old route 66 and is a very nice town. I was donating several "tubs" of Pontiac literature that I had collected over the years.

If you are into old cars, specially old Pontiacs, this is a must stop. Museum is well kept and well organized. If you can plan your trip around a special event (Trans Am Rally, etc) they have a lot of enthusiasts that bring their cars in as well.

Driving rt 66 and stopped here to surprise my husband who is a big Pontiac guy. He loved it!! We even met the Mayor of the city. Everyone was friendly and over the top helpful. We loved our time spent here.
